\raisebox

\raisebox{distance}[extend-above][extend-below]{text}

The \raisebox command creates a LR box containing text;
it is used to raise or lower text. The first
mandatory argument specifies how high the text is to be raised (or
lowered if it is a negative amount).

Sometimes it's useful to make LaTeX think something has a different
size than it really does - or a different size than LaTeX would
normally think it has. The \raisebox command lets you tell LaTeX how
tall it is.

The first optional argument, extend-above, makes LaTeX think that the
text extends above the current line by the amount specified. The second
optional argument, extend-below, makes LaTeX think that the text
extends below the current line by the amount specified.
